WASHINGTON, DC—Greg Leisch's next act will be at Newmark Grubb Knight Frank. Leisch announced recently he would be leaving Delta Associates, which he founded 35 years ago, but did not say when. He declined to tip his hand about his plans at this year's unveiling of his popular TrendLines' report. One clue came when earlier this month colleague Sandy Paul notified colleagues that he would be departing Delta Associates after 13 years to join NGKF.
Leisch is joining NGKF as senior managing director of Research. Paul joins as managing director of National Market Research.
"For the past few years, I've watched NGKF's growth around the U.S. and have been impressed," Leisch says in a prepared statement. "With that growth comes this intriguing opportunity to expand the firm's research platform with Sandy, which will serve NGKF's diverse client base, and a market hungry for the best data and analysis it can get."
NGKF is clearly in growth mode these days, bringing on board top executives and teams. Its parent company, BGC Partners, also recently acquired the multifamily broker network Apartment Realty Advisors for $110 million in cash. The acquisition is expected to give NGKF a sizeable leg up in the market.
